Atlas Sound MG2500 operation manual Setup, GAIN MATRIX #1 SCREEN

SETUP

GAIN MATRIX #1 SCREEN

The Gain Matrix #1 screen provides a channel-to-channel (2x2) mix matrix, which can be used to adjust the amount of Input & Noise signal being routed to each of the processing channels (Output 1 & Output 2). From the factory, Input 1 is routed to Output 1 only, and Noise is routed to Output 2 only, providing two independent signal paths. Levels are adjusted by dragging the corresponding ‘faders’ up or down. ‘Meters’ are provided on each channel to display input/output levels at Gain Matrix #1. NOTE: For best performance, adjust levels so the meters show occasional peaks in the yellow area, but never to the top (red). Invert allows the phase of each corresponding signal path to be reversed (180°).

The MG2500 has two basic applications which utilize Gain Matrix #1:

1)Input 1 can be routed to Output 1 and Noise can be routed to Output 2. Each channel of processing is dedicated to either Input 1 or Noise signal. Switching between Input 1 & Noise signals (to either Output) is then accomplished via Gain Matrix #2 presets (see Gain Matrix #2 screen on pg. 8). This is effective when only a single output (zone), or two outputs (zones) with independent delay, are required.

2)Gain Matrix #1 presets can be used to switch between Input 1 or Noise signal being routed to either Output. Each channel of processing is dedicated to a specific Output (zone), via Gain Matrix #2. Separate EQ presets for Input 1 & Noise signals, as they appear at each output (zone), can also be used. This is effective when two outputs (zones), each with dedicated processing, are required.

Of course, the MG2500 can simply be configured for processing Noise (or Input 1) signal only, at both Outputs.
